Why are we going to worry about Reserve scheds, Pay increases, etc. when we REALLY only need to worry about one thing - 777 rates. It looks as though we may be fighting to have those as the A380 rates.
It's been brought to our attention that representatives of flight management have recently commented on the replacement of the A-380 with the B-777.
Some of these comments have suggested that the provisions in our current contract that address ultra-long range operations and the implementation of the B-777 into our fleet are not valid. The MEC couldn't disagree more strongly.
